Pros

I worked with many genuinely smart, kind, clever ICs at Yotpo. Cool branding and a great marketing team. They were early into Shopify's ecosystem and so have a lot of visibility there.

Cons

People are leaving in droves for a reason. Yotpo (rightly) has a terrible reputation for its product quality that they're scrambling to cover up with witty marketing campaigns and positioning themselves as some sort of rebel disruptor. I'm still recovering health-wise from the intense stress and long hours. Yotpo views US-based CSMs as collateral damage - you'll be strung along with all of these promises to make up for terrible onboarding, an overload of customers to manage, buggy products, and low pay. Those promises will never come to fruition. It never gets better, and their internal culture is harsh and toxic. This is an incredibly difficult company to be any sort of person of color at (and, to be clear, there aren't many of them). This is a near-impossible place to work at if your geopolitical views differ in the slightest from leadership's - and managers see that as a point of pride.

Pros

Despite the overwhelming amount of issues, I did meet some colleagues who were kind and smart.

Cons

I was at Yotpo for a while, so I saw firsthand how unfair and poorly they operated. It's been said before but if you are a person of color, you will have a very hard time here. They form groups around one identity and favoritism. You won't get promoted or ever feel like you belong. There have been multiple instances where I've felt extremely uncomfortable. Leadership once encouraged us to reach out to customers, asking for support on political causes personal to them. This is extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. In the office, some colleagues would bring up divisive topics often and try to force their opinions on others. There were constant changes from leadership that lacked thought and follow through. Instead of thinking about what was best for employees, leadership made decisions that led to burnout, broke trust, and deepened resentment. One great example is deciding to hire multiple people and then 2 months later announcing a layoff - forcing those remaining to work twice as hard. I've seen peers get mistreated by their managers too. It broke my heart to watch kind, hardworking people be gaslit, spoken down to, and disrespected. There's a reason so many have left and are continuing to. Look to the numbers as proof, and do with that what you will.
